Hi Andy,
I did the same a few times (!) with a Debian stable. I found two pages
with "recipes" that were convenient to me. For what could be related to
you, I had to modify the "/etc/mkinirtd/mkinitrd.conf" file :
If you are using a SATA drive you pay attention!
edit /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf and change:
MODULES=most
to
###MODULES=most
MODULES=dep
and
ROOT=probe
to
###ROOT=probe
ROOT="/dev/md2 jfs"
This tells init to use what it takes to boot off of a raid device not
the /dev/sda device currently used.
(modify according to your specs) The first part (mo=dep) is not
mandatory (it just makes a smaller image), but the second is!
Thank you Laurent. I saw that in the same "how to" document. The problem
is, Mandriva does NOT have a mkinitrd.conf.
I could create it, but I don't know if mkinitrd will use it! In
Mandriva, it probably just has to be in /etc/ if if's useful at all.
Andy
